Description:
Recently, I had a project in which a form was being routed to three people in a serial fashion. However, prior to submitting the form we wanted to test whether the current user had signed the form in his/her designated spot. In order for the digital signatures to remain valid we could not make adjustments to the XML Schema and then use the RenderForm activity in LiveCycle– signatures would have been broken. So we had to put all the code to handle this in the form.

Situation:
There are three roles, Employee, Supervisor, and Reviewer. The form is routed through a LiveCycle process in that order. The Supervisor and Reviewer can either Approve or Decline the form. If the form is Declined it gets routed back to the Employee.

Setting up the form:

Add a Text Field, name it requiredSignature, and set its presence to Invisible and set its value to “Employee”

Put the Approve/Decline option as a drop-down list into the form instead of in Workspace User Action so we did not have to depend on the AWS_ACTION drop down and Form Bridge because we are submitting as a PDF due to the digital signatures, everything is self-contained in the form.
